REVIEWS: "Promising new talent... the practical low-budget effects that create a mirror-dwelling demon in John Michael Elfers' Finale should set the standard." - LA Weekly "A real big surprise... [F I N A L E] has been getting a lot of buzz" - Skewed and reviewed "I love it! That is old school filmmaking, absolutely fantastic" - La Talk Radio "Shot lovingly in the Italian Giallo vein, this little no-budget thriller is going to beat your ass... filmed at times like a surreal music video [F I N A L E] pulls no punches and doesn't lead you by the hand" - ARROW IN THE HEAD "F I N A L E is a blast and anyone that enjoys old school horror has been waiting for this... one of the best throwbacks to the heyday of Mario Bava and Dario Argento" - SCREAMIN' DEMON "A dense, multi-layered film… with truly bizarre and disturbing imagery.
